Approximately 37 miles separate Bradley’s Peoria Civic
Center and Illinois State’s Redbird Arena. If you find yourself looking for a bite to eat on The
Valley’s most contentious stretch of road, I know of a great diner with all
your home cooked favorites and more pie options than you’ll know what to do
with!
Busy Corner is located about 20 miles west of Normal and 20 miles
east of Peoria in Goodfield, Illinois (I-74 Exit 112 & hometown of Jordan Prosser). Once you pull off the exit
ramp, you can't miss the sign. It can get busy (pun intended), but I've never had to wait longer than 15 minutes for a table.
If you're stopping in from out of town, make sure to press a pin in the giant map mounted on the wall to your left as you enter the restaurant. From the moment you walk in the door, you'll feel at home with attentive staff and friendly locals enjoying their daily cup of coffee.
The Western Omelet is one of their breakfast favorites which they serve all day. Everything that comes out of the kitchen is delicious; nothing too gaudy or over the top. For dinner, try the daily special. You can't go wrong... Just good home cooking!
Make sure to save room for pie! They offer all the traditional flavors (a la mode if you really want to indulge!), and plenty of unique options as well. I got the Peanut Butter cream with Oreo crust. Two thumbs up!
Prices are pretty standard for a diner. It's the type of place you'll leave happy, full, and with some cash left in your wallet. If you're looking for a home cooked meal with that hometown feel, you can't go wrong at the Busy Corner!
